"[color=bc8dbf]Ethel said Ethel is Ethel, not kid.[/color]" She said in a louder tone, however her voice was naturally soft and quiet so it wasn't particulary loud still. But loud enough for him to hear her now. "[color=bc8dbf]Ethel's sister is here...somewhere in Crocus. Good for Ethel, bad for others. Sora will find Ethel once calmed down. Ethel hire Verrick to help.[/color]" The last part was more directed as a request towards Verrick while the rest was a brief explanation of what she had said. She hadn't the heart right now to admit her sister was a dark wizard, however she also knew she couldn't hide that fact forever. "[color=bc8dbf]Searching for Sora pointless right now. Probably in the clouds.[/color]" She quickly added as she pointed upwards towards the sky. So unless Verrick knew how to fly and find a man who could turn himself invisible, it might be quite difficult to track him down right now.

Ethel! Bloody hell we turn our backs on her for three seconds and she runs off somewhere....and where the hell are we anyway?[/color]" Mai let loud sigh before glancing around their general vicinity. She and Jess had been searching for Ethel for just over an hour now without any luck and had found themselves at the end of some random alleyway. Sora was going to be mad when and if he found out they had lost Ethel. "[color=6ecff6]...Maybe Ethel went to the inn. Ethel is smart, so if she realised she gotten separated she would've headed there no?[/color]" Mai turned towards her younger sister with a dumbfounded look on her face....why hadn't she thought of that? After a quick facepalm at her own stupidity and letting out a few choice curses into the palm of her hand, Mai was leading her sister out of the alley when she noticed that her sister was knelt down. "[color=fff200]Jess, what the heck are you doing?[/color]" She asked with a sigh, however Jess seemed to be ignoring her and paying more attention to whatever was on the ground. Before Mai could come over however Jess stood up and turned around, with Chu in her arms. "[color=6ecff6]Can we keep it?[/color]" [center][h1][color=00aeef]Manami Fuyu[/color], [color=7ea7d8]Shiro Hime[/color] and [color=ed1c24]Cody Bloodstein[/color][/h1][/center] [hider=My Hider] [center][img]http://img.paralworld.com/600/8fdb8a53-edff-4bb9-a72f-3737f688aae7.jpg[/img] [img]http://phoenixwing.weebly.com/uploads/3/1/1/1/31114287/907950253.jpg[/img][/center] [/hider] [@Raijinslayer][@Zarkun][@Joshua Tamashii][@Roseletta][@Crimson Raven] Manami frowned as Nidhogg got into his little spiel. Could he kindly not go around danging his eyeballs? Not only was it probably creeping out the Phoenix Wing mages but it was certainly creeping the heck out of her. Deciding to not look at him as he continued, she simply listened and took in what he said. Shiro on the other hand seem relatively unfazed by his little show, like she couldn't care less even. Maybe because she didn't care, but beside the point. "[color=00aeef]My dear Mr DuCarthy I'm afraid you're forgetting who exactly you begged to come along here....I didn't allow you to come along to make a scene and you promised me your best behavior. Yet I hear from yourself that you were threatening the lives of the citizens? I have half a mind to take you back this very instant.[/color]" Despite her seemingly scolding tone a small tendril of golden water snaked up her arm as she talked. "[color=00aeef]However despite how much I detest your methods, I must admit they've been effective. And you haven't technically broken your promise so let's just mop these small fry up and get out of here before any of the bigger guns turn up.[/color]" As the dome began to encase Cody and James, Cody punched the ground in frustration. He was sick of being underestimated. It was about time he showed he could be useful rather than just a troublemaking nobody. Throwing his arms out as the hands and skulls that raced towards him and James seemed to bounce off of a near invisible barrier. However the light blue tingle in the air was obviously as Cody took a few breaths to calm himself. This wasn't like him at all. He was usually more level headed than this...what made him feel this way? "[color=ed1c24]I didn't run in here half-cock...I already had my magic activated. I've stretched my Absolute Shield to it's maxium length however-[/color]" Cody didn't get much of a chance to finish however as the dome was soon smashed into tiny pieces. Well he was just going to ask James to smash the dome, but that would work just as well. But he didn't notice that Amaya and Joshua were gone and frowned slightly now. Did they run away? What had happened?! As soon as Ferrin and Phlegethon made their side of the fight clear here Manami sighed heavily. "[color=00aeef]Dear oh dear Mr DuCarthy it would seem that you have a few fanboys here to see you. I hope you won't mind me taking one out of the equation.[/color]" Manami gave him a teasing grin and wink before pointing her open hand towards Phlegethon. A flaming skeleton huh? "[color=00aeef]Shiro my dear, I'm afraid we will need to execute Plan B. I'll buy you time.[/color]" With a quick nod from Shiro, who then proceeded to vanish, Manami quickly turned her entire attention on Phlegethon. She would have to handle him, the Paladin and the absolute defence user herself then. "[color=00aeef]By the power invested in thy vessel grant me the strength lord.[/color]" Manami mumbled softly before glowing slightly. Smirking now towards Phlegethon she boldly made a brief declaration of her intent if it wasn't clear enough. "[color=00aeef]I'm afraid if you want to play with my friend here you'll have to have to play a little game with myself first.[/color]" And with that a massive hand made from golden water now erupted from the ground and attempted to crush Phlegethon in it's grasp. One of it's fingers was bigger than the spirit itself. Several tendrils of water about as thing as string now raced forwards along the ground towards James and Cody as well in preparation for whatever they might try.
